And it’s perfectly fine that you weren’t offended by it, but clearly a lot of women were. Just because you weren’t doesn’t make the fact that they were offended any less valid, you know?
Yeah, you’re definitely right. I never meant to invalidate it. I just never really understood why they were so angry about it, but I only could really see it from my point of view.
Like I told that anon, the reason I never really connected to the feminist movement was because when I was growing up, I never really felt constricted by gender roles. But obviously, not everyone was like that, so they might be more opposed to certain things than I am.
He’s my FRIEND, but I don’t return his feelings and I didn’t feel obligated to just because he’s attracted to me and offers to do nice things for me.
Okay and I’m telling you that personally, I’ve never been placed within gender roles. I’ve always been allowed to do whatever I want when I want to. I went through a phase when I hated wearing dresses and only wore jeans. I played softball and danced. I was in girl scouts and helped my father build the extension over our house. Maybe I’m luckier than some, but that could be why I never connected to the whole feminist movement.

Nah, man, I love you like Kanye loves Kanye, don’t worry! I’m just bringing up counterpoints because while some arguments are extremely superfluous, the sandwich board one is not one of those.
See, but what I got from the argument was that the fact that he even went out on the subway that day was extremely offensive to women. I mean, in my head, I just thought that it was an attempt he was making and his ex could’ve been like “……….. no, you’re still a creep.” and that was the end of it. I didn’t think that it was forcing her hand or anything. Like, obviously, if he persisted her after that and took it to an unsafe level, then yeah. Tie him up by his ballsac. But I didn’t think the attempt itself, however misguided, wasn’t particularly offensive to myself, as a woman.

Well, there ARE different implications. Girls are brought up with this idea that if a man shows interest in you and he does something “nice” for you, you’re obligated to returns his affections, or else you’re a “bitch,” whereas boys aren’t.
I think that’s honestly more of a nurture vs. nature argument, though. Because my parents never instilled that in me, and even now, there’s this guy who has the hots for me and I practically use him for rides and shit, because I’m not attracted to him whatsoever. So, idk. Honestly, you’re waaay more educated in this than I am, so I really don’t want to make any explicit remarks about it, because I’d probably be wrong and I don’t want your opinion of me to be faltered in any way.
I’m pretty sure that’s one of the first things I said when I brought this whole thing up. But if you asked a group of people in a room to raise their hands if they’re a feminist, I wouldn’t raise my hand because as of late, that’s not what the movement has reflected itself to be to me.
